       Slumber Stories

       Putting up a new thread for this because the last one was under
       ' Giggling Glee ' and sometimes it isn't appropriate to have
       them there, ha. The one I had last night has left me pretty
       shaken and I'm snapping at everything, so I wanted to take a
       little time to myself and managed to tidy the whole house as a
       result, so something good came out of it. I don't remember many
       details at all, so I'll make it vague just to get it off my
       chest. I have no idea where such a thing popped up from; what
       sparked it or even why, but I'm fully aware I've never had a
       dream like it before. It was definitely more of a nightmare. I
       killed someone —— or attempted to. I remember that the dream
       started and I was drawing a blade through someone's forehead?? I
       have no idea what kind of sick little games my brain is playing
       when I sleep, but that was half of it. What followed was me then
       pulling their scalp away and just examining the brain and god
       knows how, but they were still alive and their speech was
       untouched by what I had been doing. I was just standing over
       them and thinking 'Now what do I do?' sort of thing, and they
       were like 'You're going to get into so much trouble. You should
       just put my brains back in and attach the scalp again and let me
       go..' and of course, at that point in my dream, I did realise I
       was dreaming and began to panic like crazy. Some time skipped
       and I'm not sure what happened during that time, but when it
       moved forward and I became aware of everything again, I was the
       one with the scalp hanging off of my head and I was trying
       desperately to cover the wound with a hat.. I just. I woke up
       pretty quick after that and I still have no idea what to make of
       it. I'm a little frightened that I would even try something like
       that in my sleep.

       Oh Wolfy. I'm so so sorry that you've had this kind of
       nightmare. These kinds of dreams are utterly terrifying on their
       own but when you find that it's really yourself that's the
       subject of the dream it get even more unsettling. While I can
       never say I've had that kind of dream I did have one where I was
       strangling someone - turned out to be myself- but it happened in
       a sort of a split screen type thing. ie; me strangling someone
       and then me feeling that I was being strangled and it went back
       and forth for what seemed like forever. But enough about me, I
       did a little digging and I tried to break your dream down into
       smaller parts just to see what I could find, I know it's not
       much but I can't stand the thought of you being upset hun.  The
       first two came from dream moods.com and dreamhawk.com
       respectively.
       Killing -  To dream that you kill someone indicates that you are
       on the verge of losing your temper and self-control.  Consider
       the person you have killed and ask yourself if you feel any rage
       towards her or him in your waking life. Your dream may be
       expressing some hidden anger. Alternatively, you may be trying
       to kill an aspect of yourself that is represented by the person
       killed. Identify the characteristics of this person and ask
       yourself which of these qualities you are trying to put an end
       to.
       To dream that you have been killed suggests that your actions
       are disconnected from your emotions and conscience. The dream
       refers to drastic changes that you are trying to make. There is
       a characteristic that you want to get rid of or a habit that you
       want to end within yourself. Killing represents the killing off
       of the old parts and old habits. Alternatively, the dream
       represents feelings of being let down or betrayed by someone in
       your waking life. You are feeling overwhelmed, shocked and
       disappointed.
       Skin / Scalp -  This is often shown in dreams as the quality
       you display to others, or your awareness of someone else’s
       quality. This means things such as skin colour, condition of
       skin, whether rough or smooth, young, old, thick, thin, healthy
       or injured.
       It is also your contact with the world. Through it you feel
       warmth or cold, wet or dry, and all the subtle interaction with
       other people and your environment. So to understand the dream
       consider what impression you have of the skin, then ask yourself
       how this connects with your self image, or your sense of your
       own quality.
       The skin may also relate to what tactics we use to deal with
       others; our strength or vulnerability in feeling the impact of
       other people, their remarks and actions. It is our protection
       against the huge forces we deal with every day.
       Skin is a window on your emotions also – so any disturbance can
       show in your dreams as spots or things. So what emotions –
       strong ones have you felt recently? It could make you feel
       uncertain of what people think of you, especially if you have
       met a new girl/boy friend.
       Self - Seeing one's self in a dream is a representation of the
       'rational self'. ( I'm so sorry I didn't find much else. :-(  )
       Panic -  Sensing panic in your dream could mean that you're
       feeling overwhelmed by something in your daily life.
       Maybe you've got a bit of some sort of pent up anger toward
       someone or something? Those posts in Jared's tag could have
       upset you. The job center? Maybe both? Then you've got the skin
       part asking  you how you've dealt with those strong feelings
       lately - anger, sadness, fear etc. maybe it's your mind's way of
       trying to rationalize all the feelings and the stress and
       telling you to vent them? This is just a suggestion but have you
       tried 'emptying your mind' right before bed? If you're feeling
       an intense emotion, no matter what it is - write it down on a
       piece of paper just to get it out, this acts as a sort of
       pressure release valve on your mind and maybe it will help. Have
       you tried visualizing a story before going to sleep? Nothing
       huge or scary, just something calming like going for a walk in
       the woods during the day or sitting by a stream - anything you
       find calming. Or centering your breathing - ten or twelve deep
       breaths in through through the nose out through the mouth -
       before turning in? Even if you didn't feel edgy before you
       drifted off you very could have been keyed up over something.
       I'm so sorry I couldn't find more and I hope this makes sense
       and can help you. Please please please keep me updated on all of
       this hun. *hugs*
